Elite Veteran Posts: 888 Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | Apparently some variations in printed literature exists. I have used these numbers for a very long time without much disagreement. If anyone has an assembled axle on the floor perhaps they could take a couple of measurements. Housing widths, flange to flange A BODY '66-'72= 52 5/8" B BODY '62-'63= 53 1/4" (And '64 Max Wedge) '64 = 55 5/8" (Exc. Max Wedge) '65-'67= 54 1/4"' 68-'70= 54 15/16"' 71-'74= 57 7/8"' 71-'73 wagon= 59 7/16" C BODY '65-'69= 56 3/4"' 70-'71= 57 7/8" (Chrysler & Fury) '70-'74= 59 7/16" (and '69 wagon) IMPERIAL '65-'66= 57"' 67-'69= 57 3/8"' 70-'71= 54 3/4"' 72-'73= 59 5/8" E BODY '70-'74= 56 31/64" A100 '65-'70= 56 3/4" D100 '65-'71= 58 5/16"' 72-'74= 59 7/16 Edited by wayfarer 2012-03-30 11:36 AM | ||

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | I recently narrowed a C-body housing to A-body width and using new axles. I have a few rear ends I can take measurements off. | ||

Expert Posts: 3775 Location: NorCal | As usual, like most rear end dimensions published on the web, those in the OP are wrong. Edited by 57chizler 2012-03-30 3:21 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | I've gathered a fair number of rear axle housing and axle measurements on my website as a reference. Gathered them from various sites and tried to weed out the wrong info, but I don't know if the info I have listed is still correct. If anyone sees anything wrong I would gladly ike to hear about it and make sure the info is correct. http://www.bigblockmopar.nl/tech/mopar-rearaxle-dimensions/ Edited by BigBlockMopar 2012-03-30 4:44 PM | ||

Expert Posts: 3393 Location: Chestertown, NY ( near Lake George) | Drum to drum means outer edge of drum?, none of the dimensions match what I posted, of course the methodology is different. | ||

Expert Posts: 3575 Location: Netherlands | Measuring dimensions 'exactly' with a tape-measure is pretty much impossible if the 3rd member is still installed in the housing. This alone could give over .5" differences I guess. | ||

Elite Veteran Posts: 888 Location: Peoples Republic of Oregon | The easy way to measure when working alone: Remove drums; clamp a bar against the face of each flange that will project beyond the usual obstructions; hook your tape to one of the bars and measure to the inside of the other bar then SUBTRACT the thickness of the first bar. | ||

Expert Posts: 3775 Location: NorCal | The dimensions noted by wayfarer and BBMopar are correct, I know because I compiled them and posted them for the Moparts site years ago. | ||
